Hi Winifred, I've only played with the photo albums as I'm not one for printing much out and prefer to use another program to produce photos on CDs that can be viewed by family. I have used the Slider Show at Family Reunions. I've thought about, but haven't actually implemented, the idea of

Hi Winifred, It doesn't matter where your Legacy photo folder is, so long as you know. I call it Legacy Pictures so anyone who looks at my computer knows. I don't like mixing up programs and data so on my XP computer I have the Legacy program installed in the Programs Folder and keep my data

If you need to keep them off the computer, then you need to do this work around. It is not a reccomendation, but a thought. Create various disks for the different family groups. Call the disk in the method. D:/johnson/ . Next go into Legacy, insert 'Johnson' and call up any of the photos found on t

Hi Carol, Put small copies of your pictures on your hard drive and have those linked to Legacy. You don't have to redo the linking if the small copies have the same names as the large archive copies. For most uses in Legacy, a picture only has to be a maximum of 800 pixels wide. I have 2,500
